Using Podfarm Plug-In in Garageband '11

Hi, I purchased the Toneport/Guitarport Online bundle.

Gear: Intel Mac, version 10.6.7, all Line 6 software is up to date as of 4/5/11

As standalone applications, Podfarm, Gearbox work great but w Garageband...

 

I followed ALL the steps in this tutorial...

 

http://line6.com/community/docs/DOC-2071

 

...for the Podfarm plug-in within Garageband but still get an error message telling me "A required device is either not authorized or not connected..." (see attachment). Everything is plugged in and I'm getting a signal in Garageband but cannot use the plug-in. I've tried reconnecting and restarting, etc. but still get the message. I also tried (within Line 6 Monkey) to REactivate anything I could but there are no options for that. Also tried reinstalling Podfarm, drivers etc, with no luck. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated :-)

 

Brian

    Hey briandrankin,

     

      I would try using POD Farm in stand alone mode and output the audio into Garageband.

     

      -With your toneport connected to a USB port on your computer, not a USB hub or extension.

      -Launch POD Farm.

      -Once launched, set up tone that you would like to use.

      -Click on the Mixer tab in center of the program, towards the top, to the right of the Line 6 logo.

      -Using the outputs on the right hand side, make sure to select TONE A for outputs send 1-2.

      -Leave POD Farm open.

      -Launch Garageband.

      -Within the audio options/preferences menu, make sure to select your toneport as the audio device/driver.

      -Create a new audio track in garageband.

      -On the right of garageband, make sure that the input of the track is toneport 1-2.

     

      From there you should be able to record the sounds you are getting from POD Farm into garageband.

     

      I hope this helps.

      Hi Line6Don,

      Thanks so much for the reply :-) I really appreciate it. Very satisfied Line 6 customer for years now.

       

      Recording from the standalone Podfarm mode has been fine. Incidently, my mixer does not have the options you mentioned (?) (see screenshot) also, from within Garageband, which inputs do I use mono or stereo? Using Podfarm 1.12.0 - L6TWXY Version 5.02.0

       

      What I'm trying to acheive, if possible, is to use the Podfarm plug-in on playbacks in Garageband to tweak the tone in real-time. Just like I can do with Garageband's built-in amp models (prefer Podfarm). I realize Garageband is eh, 'entry-level' recording software wise. Would an optional solution be to purchase Podfarm2 or am I going to have the same issue with the plug-in?

       

      Thanks again for your assistance :-)

    Hey briandrankin,

       

      From this point, if you would like to use POD Farm 2 as a plugin in Garageband, you will need to purchase a license. They are available on our online store:

       

      http://line6.com/store/

       

      On the main page, you will see POD Farm 2 plugin, make sure and select your device from the pull down menu so that you purchase the correct license.

       

      If you have any further issues, just let us know.
